"Sometimes an open mind can usher in new friends. Young Charley sees a girl at the playground in a wheelchair and she has no hands. He says something impolite, calling her weird, and the girl hears him and is sad. His mother reminds him that being different is okay, so he introduces himself to Emma and apologizes. She is glad to answer his questions and he discovers they like a lot of same things and have a lot in common. It's a nice introduction to a world of people who are different."

- We received our copy of 'When Charley met Emma' today. Our daughter, who is 7, couldn't wait, and began to look through it and told me what was happening, by way of the illustrations and some of the words she could read. I could instantly tell that she immediately connected in a powerful way. The girl, Emma, in the story has limb differences that are VERY similar to hers. Our daughter has born with both arm differences like Emma in the book and a short right leg ( that has since been amputated and she wears a prosthetic leg). She is left footed, using it for everything as her dominant limb. Emma even uses her left foot to write! She can relate to EVERYTHING Emma goes through in this book. This story is about how we are ALL different, and how that is OK. It helps kids dialouge about approaching differences in a way that they can understand and shows ways that we, as humans, are more alike than different. At the core, it's about kindness and humanity. I HIGHLY encourage ALL parents to add it to their library. Go...now...do it. If you are an educator, teacher, administrator, etc..., get a few copies for your schools and districts.

- I ordered this book upon a recommendation from a friend. My daughter and I read it together as soon as it arrived. Her reaction was, "It seems like it's written by someone who has no experience with this kind of life." I agreed. While the illustrations are beautiful the story is lacking. The story implied complete compliance on behalf of the child with the disability to be patient with the child who had no respect or manner for someone that was alternatively-abled. The language of wondering if her hands were taken or cut off or other absurdities just added to the lack of compassion that children deal with on a daily basis. This was a book I was excited to receive and hoped to use in an educational setting, but, will not for various reasons. The most important, that as a mother of a child in a wheelchair who has been on this journey for nearly a decade, I'm saddened to think that in 2019...this is the best we can do in kids lit.
- Beautiful illustrations, clear message, not too many words/pg for ease of reading to little people. Adorable storyline, and especially appreciated the talking points at the end. We are a family with an extra special someone, and love having a book that kindly helps teach how to enter into a special person’s world with understanding and gentleness.
- But the book! Fantastic book for both kids and their parents! This is a must for your home library and schools. It’s not just a book for kids with disabilities - the books message is about embracing our individual uniqueness, embracing our differences. It helps kids and adults to understand that being different is okay! There are some important lessons that as a parent you can learn on how to approach your kids when they have questions about themselves and others being different, and feeling different. Couldn’t recommend it enough! And the illustrations are beautiful!
- When Charley Met Emma is such a sweet, lovely book - it tells the story of a little boy named Charley who makes a new friend, Emma, at the playground. But at first, Charley doesn't know how to act or what to say to Emma - because she has limb differences and uses a wheel chair. This book does a wonderful job, in a very gentle and encouraging way, of teaching children (and parents!) how to handle initial interactions with people who, at first, seem very different. My two not-physically-disabled kids (ages 5 and 6.5) LOVED this book and have asked to read it again every day since we got it -- they talk about what makes us each different but special and amazing! I can already tell the lessons and impressions from the story have had a huge effect on them and will go a long way towards informing their attitudes and behaviors with others they meet going forward who might not be exactly like them. Amy Webb has given our world a gift with this book -- sharing kindness, understanding and opening ourselves up to all the wonderful things about EVERY person.
- This is book is incredible and is a must read for people of all ages! My brother is disabled and I remember growing up and other kids staring at him because he is different and it really bothered me. This is a good way to teach kids that it’s okay to be different and if you see someone else that is different than you, go get to know them instead of thinking they are weird. You might be surprised how much you have in common! Love love love this book! I bought an extra copy to donate to my local library.
- I purchased this book after reading an article the author wrote on Cupofjo.com about how to discuss disabilities with your children. You can't read this book in a silo and have no further conversation about disabilities, but it was an excellent way to start a conversation about inclusion, kindness, and the appropriate way to approach children with visual differences with my 4 and 6 year old daughters. Otherwise, I think I would have possibly relied on a real life situation to prompt the conversation. I would rather have my daughters be PREPARED for this encounter ahead of time and handle it in a respectful way than have to process it in real time, possibly while they inadvertently hurt someone.
I love the repetition of the author's message that "everyone's different, and it's okay." We have already used the author's wording at a playground as a way to connect the book with the real-life situation.
I sent it into my daughter's school for her teacher to preview and share with the class. Kids can't hear enough about the importance of being compassionate, kind, and inclusive.
